Mr. Trump, as we know, is renting out space in his tower to his campaign, which is partially self-funded and partially funded by small donors. When he began accepting donations (rather than self-funding) as the major revenue for his campaign, he raised the rent to his campaign to almost five times the previous amount. (http://www.huffingtonpost.com...) In other words, he took money from people who believed that it would be used to help the campaign and put it back inside his own pocket. It's a neat little scam.

I honestly don't see how people can support someone who does this, and what makes it worse is that many of his donors are poor, rural supporters who (however wrong they may be) believe that they are doing good in the world and supporting a good cause. I ask you this: what kind of terrible person lies to his supporters, takes their money, and then steals it from his own campaign?

Well if it's partially self funded, then he is just paying himself back lol.

Sure. But he's also stealing money from hardworking middle-class supporters and putting it back into his own greedy pockets.

First of all, your article outlines one person, and you claim she scammed "thousands upon thousands" of poor supporters. So that's false.

Another thing: the article referred to the occurrence as "claims," and, as you see in the title, it was being investigated. So we can't even be sure if it was the Clinton campaign. Trump's scam, on the other hand, is very public, even if it isn't getting a lot of media.

Bwahahahahaha! The Clintons make $500,000a speech to big banks like Goldman Sachs in rooms where all tecording devices are consFiscated before you enter the speech auditorium. The Clinton Foundation has over $2 billion in it which is never allocated to the needy or any good causes, and its contributors are foreign oligarchs. Don't be an ignorant sheep.

You say that the Clinton Foundation never donates to any good causes. What about the great AIDS work they've done in Africa?

I suppose you think that using "charity" money to buy a six-foot portrait of yourself, as Mr. Trump did, is preferable to lifesaving work in third-world countries. My God, you're deluded.

Hillary was a part of what is said to be the biggest, dirtiest scandal in American history. The older generation remembers. The problem is...the next generation coming up does not. Hillary is counting on it.

It involves the transfer of America"s most sensitive technology, including but not limited to nuclear missile and satellite technology, apparently in exchange for millions of dollars in contributions to the 1996 Clinton-Gore re-election effort and the Democratic National Committee.

The Chinagate scandal of 1996 ended up in an award of 900,000 in attorney"s fees and costs to Judicial Watch ten years later.

The scandal was an apparent scheme by the Clinton administration to sell seats on taxpayer-funded trade missions in exchange for campaign contributions to the 1996 Clinton-Gore campaign.

Judicial Watch began an investigation and Clinton administration officials deliberately concealed and destroyed records regarding the trade mission and testimony was falsified.

Nolanda Hill, a business partner and confidante of the Clinton then-Commerce Secretary Ron Brown testified in a court hearing during the litigation that the Clinton White House told Brown to "delay the Judicial Watch case by withholding the production of documents prior to the 1996 elections and to devise a way not to comply with the court"s orders."

She also testified that Brown, who"died in a plane crash during a trade mission to Bosnia, told her that Hillary conceived of the scheme to sell trade mission seats. Brown complained of "being "Hillary"s blankety-blank tour guide."

The case was so serious and so damaging that the Commerce Department asked for a judgment against itself to avoid any further revelations. The court refused and insisted the Commerce Department conduct a new search for trade mission records and authorized discovery into the illegal concealment and destruction of government records.

Congressional investigations, FEC investigations, a criminal inquiry by the Justice Department and the FBI followed. The DOC changed its trade mission policy which abandoned all political contributions affecting mission seats.

Finally, in 2006, without any fanfare, an appellate court upheld an award of 900,000 to Judicial Watch.

While there was a lot of circumstantial evidence, there was never a smoking gun.

Clinton friend Yah Lin "Charlie" Trie pleaded guilty to charges of violating campaign finance rules in exchange for having pending indictments dropped against him in Washington and Arkansas.

According to news reports in 1997, Democratic donor Johnny Chung received a $150,000 transfer from the Bank of China three days before he handed then First Lady Hillary Clinton"s chief of staff a $50,000 check.

Then-Vice President Al Gore received political donations from Buddhist nuns who had taken a vow of poverty.

President Clinton admitted in 1997 that he invited major campaign donors to spend the night in the White House. The Clintons hosted 404 overnight guests.

The Clinton Foundation has over $2 billion in it. Her donors are primarily leaders of nations congenitally hostile to America. When America pays you a few hundred thousand dollars and foreign governments pay you millions...you work for foreign powers and not the American people.

Hillary Clinton gets paid as much as $600,000 for speeches to big banks like Goldman Sachs. In these "secret and confidential" speeches, recording devices including cell phones are confiscated before you are allowed in. The United States doesn't pay her $600,000 as her annual salary for an entire year. So guess who else she works for.

Under the current administration, Hillary's administration, 100,000,000+ Americans are out of work, the national debt is nearing $20 trillion, accumulating more debt than all 43 prior administrations combined, Veterans and cops are treated like second class citizens, and a black vs cop race war was baited into fruition despite more whites being killed annualy by cops than blacks and it isn't close. This crap has to stop and right now.
